Green and sustainable synthesis of silver nanowires using batch and millifluidic processes and their applications in conductive inks
(2023-05)
This dissertation focuses on the solution-based synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) silver nanostructures (mainly silver nanowires) using green, sustainable, and cost-efficient materials and processes, and application of 1D ...
Design and intracellular trafficking of poly(L-lysine)-grafted-poly(ethylene glycol) fiberless adenoviral gene delivery vector
(2020-07)
The first gene therapy clinical trials were started nearly 30 years ago, but the field only now seems to be on the verge of widespread adoption. Safe and efficient gene delivery, however, is still a major obstacle and is ...
Development, Characterization, and Optimization of a Multi-Chamber, Single-Use Bioreactor
(2019-05-01)
Stirred-tank single-use bioreactors have proven their capability to successfully replace their stainless-steel counterparts in the biopharmaceutical industry. To date, however, only a five-fold volume expansion is achievable ...
Investigation into biodegradability of ionic liquids employing active site models
(2020-07)
Ionic liquids have the potential for driving industrial processes in a sustainable fashion due to their environmentally benign characteristics like inherent low vapor pressure and flammability. Their extremely low vapor ...
Establishing governing equations for 3D cell culture in perfusion bioreactors
(2014-05)
Culturing cells and regenerating tissues in vitro on 3D scaffolds involves several challenges, such as efficient nutrient transportation, uniform stress distribution, and the removal of wastes. Bioreactors not only allow ...
Hydrate formation in waxy oil systems
(2016-12)
Emulsions are of great importance due to their widespread occurrence in industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, agricultural, and energy. In the energy industry, emulsions may be encountered in all stages of ...
Multiphase Modeling of Monocyte Migration and Differentiation in a Flow Bioreactor System: An In-Silico Study
(2019-05-01)
The objective of this study was to model monocyte migration and differentiation into dendritic cells under a variety of conditions in a novel designed plate bioreactor with flow using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) ...
Point efficiency of distillation sieve trays at elevated liquid viscosities
(2019-12)
Liquid viscosity is considered to be a major factor that influences distillation efficiency through its contribution to the liquid-phase mass transfer resistance. Nearly all of the distillation efficiency correlations in ...
Exploring the optical properties of mie resonator nanoparticles for catalytic and photocatalytic applications
(2021-12)
Heterogeneous metal nano catalysts have recently emerged as attractive catalysts for variety of couplings (e.g., C-C, C-N, C-S, C-O, etc.). However, the characterization of catalytic pathway remains challenging. By exploiting ...
